Using the Vacuvita Home Base
with vacuum containers
- Carefully follow the instructions on page 15 ‘Using your Vacuvita
Home Base’ to ensure safe use of the device.
- Place your food inside the container.
Always allow food to cool to room temperature before
applying the vacuum.
- Do not fill the container beyond the max fill line, as food or liquids
may be pulled into the vacuum adapter.
- Ensure that the seal in the lid and the rim of the container are clean
and dry. Liquids and little pieces of food on the seal or the rim may
prevent the container from reaching the appropriate vacuum level or
cause leakage.
- Put the lid on the container and press firmly
to close.
- Remove the cap from the adapter socket
behind the Home Base lid. Insert the free
side of the adapter hose into the vacuum
socket.
- The LED light rings will switch on below the
Home Base lid.
- Place the vacuum adapter on the valve and
gently press it down.
-
Press the capacitive touch control (the
middle of the area lit up by the circular
indicator light) to activate the vacuum
process.
- Hold down the adaptor on the valve of the
container. The system will automatically
switch off when it reaches the right vacuum
level.
- To open the container, release the vacuum
by gently pulling up one of the flaps of
the valve. You will hear a hissing noise that
indicates that the air is now entering the
container. When the hissing noise stops,
open the lid as usual.

Microwave use
- Never use empty Vacuvita containers in the microwave. Never
microwave the containers with the lid on to allow hot air to escape
and prevent ruptures, damage to the container or injuries from
exposure.
- You can heat cooked foods, such as leftovers, in a Vacuvita bag
using a microwave. The bag should not be used to microwave raw
foods. Always open the bag prior to putting it in a microwave to let
the steam escape. Avoid microwaving foods containing oil, as it will
get hot very quickly and could cause the side of the bag to stick to-
gether. Vacuvita vacuum bags cannot be re-used or re-sealed after
being used in a microwave.
How to scan your containers:
Using the QR code
All Vacuvita containers are equipped with a tag bearing a QR code. This
helps you to easily identify the container and its contents, even if you
have several containers in use.
You need the Vacuvita app to use the QR code –
see Vacuvita.com/mobile/app for more information.
With the Vacuvita app, you can create an overview of the food stored in
your freezer, pantry or refrigerator. The app will notify you when food is
close to expiry so that it can be consumed while it is still safe, helping
you to reduce waste and save money.
- After packing your Vacuvita container
and completing the vacuuming
process, scan the QR code, following
the instructions on your mobile phone
screen.
- The Vacuvita app will instruct you to
fill in information such as the type
of food in the container and where
it will be stored (pantry, freezer or
refrigerator).
- Place the container in the appropriate storage location.
- The app has added the container and its contents to the list of
different foods that you have stored.
- If you have stored multiple containers
in the same location (e.g. freezer), you
can easily scan the QR code on the
tags with the app to see what is inside.
- Next to the QR code, each tag also
bears an alphanumerical code. The
app displays this code in the list of
stored food so that you can also find
the container you are looking for
without using the scanning function.
